Honored as a "historic rock and roll landmark" by the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame and Museum, Austin City Limits is the longest-running
popular music series in American television history. ACL began in
1974 by featuring original Texas music that ran the gamut from
Western swing and Texas blues to Tejano, progressive country, and
rock and roll. Now the show is celebrating its fortieth
anniversary, and its coverage has expanded to encompass unique
regional, national, and international performers in an eclectic
range of genres. Additionally, the ACL brand includes the annual
Austin City Limits Music Festival, a three-day extravaganza that
spotlights some 150 bands and attracts more than 200,000 fans. This
book spans ACL's first 40 years, with special emphasis on legendary
artists, such as Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Leonard Cohen, and
Willie Nelson, and the most compelling contemporary performers and
bands from the past two decades, including Coldplay, John Mayer,
Elvis Costello, Pearl Jam, David Bryne, the Flaming Lips, Wilco,
Lucinda Williams, and Norah Jones. The best of the best, Austin
City Limits: Forty Years of Legendary Music showcases some of the
most brilliant, mesmerizing, quirky, esoteric, and unforgettable
performances on any stage in the past 40 years.
